A lot has happened for Imagine Dragons since they burst onto the music scene in 2012 with their smash radio hit, "It's Time."
With four commercially successful albums and a Grammy under their belt, they've become chart-toppers, vocal LGBT supporters and one of the most popular modern rock bands in the world.
On this day in Setlist.fm history, the band played an intimate show at the YouTube Space in LA, live debuting two new songs off their third studio album, 2017's Evolve.
The 8-song set was a celebration in anticipation of their upcoming Evolve World Tour, which would go on to visit 129 cities throughout North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
The tour would feature special guests K.Flay and Grace Vanderwaal.
After debuting back-to-back Evolve songs "Thunder" and "Whatever It Takes," the Dragons played fan-favs from their award-winning 2012 debut record, Night Visions, like "Believer," "Shots" and "Demons," and closed out the show with the ever-anthemic "Radioactive."
Today, "Thunder" and "Whatever It Takes" have earned a solid spot on the band's setlist, having been played a total of 177 and 173 times live respectively. (I guess you could say the band has evolved since their humble beginnings.)
